Mir. Erwin Maxwell is permanently located at Atlanta, Mir. Walter II. Maxwell remaining in charge of the Palace.

A RAINY DAY.
BY H. s. KELLER.

When the summer sky is heavy And the grass is wet with rain, When we hear the ceaseless batter Of the drops against the pane. Let us hasten to the attic
 Where the shadows darkly crown The coowebs and the elapboards, And the rafters grim and brown. There 1t stands back in the corner, Covered OCT with dust, the W heel That our granddame ssed for spinning. And the quaint old fashioned reel. There's the musket old and rusty, Twas grandsire's long ago When he hastened to the battle In his valor and his glow. Hung on pegs, row of dresses, Bonnets, garments out ot style; Could you see them deck their carers You would only stop and smile. Dainty slippers, slim and peaked, High -heeled, very trim and gay; Now they're only dingy satin
 With their rosettes sombre gray. There's spinet with its wires Covered OCT with yellow rust, Touch the keys-no chords of music Follow, but cloud of dust. But 'tis said your granddame used to Woo the gallantS to her side; And 'tis sand she rent theIr bosoms With the spinet's ripping tide. Here's chip hat old and battered, And the remnants of doll; Here's a wire cage your uncle
 Brought from China with T poll; Here's hoop you used to trundle When you wore your pants at knees; Here's kite you used to gaily Sail upon the summer breeze. Here are countless precious treasures Put with loving care away. Just to greet your grown-up fancies All upon rainy day. But the summer sky Is clearing, Quit the attic and come down; Leave the quaint old tokens up there Meath the rafters grim and brown.

The HERALD proposes to stand not
only Dy Phillpabarg, but the people Ci
Phillips county N G want % make TIA s
paper largely q Farmers paper for
we know We must largely depend en-
the farmers for our support. We have
heretofore exposed certain sWiGdlers
who were taking In the farmers of Phil
lips county and now we wish to call
our reader s. attention to another swim
die that is being perpetrated in certain
lOcahtles OF the west. IL is called the
i'wire fence sWindle. - The slick Oper-
ator calls on the farmer and wants the
privilege Of exhibiting his wire fence
stretching machine TO farmers in Your
township on your farm for which priv
lege he will build You thirty or forty
rods OF good fence for exhibition, and
all that he asks of yOH is 10 board him,
60 after the machine at the nearest de-
pot and pay the charges, not exceed 50,
for the fence all set up when you want
it. In order to have all satisfactory,
and as q warrant OF the farmers good
intention, he requires him to sign a
written contract on q postal card, which
he mails to his partner and which proves
TO be an order for the machine, price
$500, worth about S25. After the ma
chine comes q new man comes up with
his postal order for the machine and re-
qures pay Of $500 as per agreement on
the card. He CLAIMS TO be an attorney
for the company and threatens to sue
in the United States court until he gets
the note. Readers OF the HERALD VIII
do well to be on their guard against
these schemes. The safe way is to buy
of your home dealer in Phillipsburg and
if he has rot the article you want he
will send for it.

Last Sunday Rev. Theodore Bracken,
of the Presbyterian church, instead of
preaching a regular Sermon recOuuted
the history of the growth of the church
in this part of Kansas. He was sent
here as a missionary in 1873, and his
field to look after was Phillips, Norton
and Graham counties. AT that time
there was not q church building of any
denomination in this county. He says
the first year he was here the Philips
burg Society consisted of six women
and one man and the total amount of
contributions made TO his support were
$1,000 cash and so lbs of flour Mr..
Bracken is the pioneer Presbyterian
preacher in western Kansas. His
account Of the growth of his denomina-
ton was quite interesting.

Here is a little problem for HERALD
readers: Suppose hunter discovers
squirrel on a tree, but the animal is
on the opposite side OF the tree TO the
hunter. The hunter walks around the
tree to get a good shot at the squirrel,
but as last as he walks, the squirrel
bitches around keeping its face con
stantly toward its enemy. The hunter
finally arrives at the point where he
started from. The question is, did the
hunter 20 around the squirrel, We
heard this matter discussed in Phillips
burg recently. Jake Bradley says the
hunter did not 20 around the squirrel,
for the squirrel kept its face constantly
toward its enemy. County COmmIs-
siOner Mcdowell says the man did not
90 around the squirrel no more than a
spoke in the wagon wheel goes around
the hub another gentleman illustrated
it thus: if q double team is driven
around a circular race track, it is non
sense to say that the outside horse goes
around the inside one for to 90 around
an object, you must pass every side of
it, therefore the hunter did not 90
around the squirrel for he never got on
but one side of the squirrel Prof
Thomas of the Phillipsburg school and
others, contend that the hunter did 20
around the squirrel They contend
that if the earth makes q circuit around
the sun once in 500 days it goes around
the sun no matter whether the sun re-
wolves OF not; that if q man walks
around a house he goes arOand every
thing in that house no matter what the
people in there are doing no. which
way they are turning. This is a ine
mathematical question. We would be
pleased to hear from the HERALD's
mathematical friends on the question.
